Revestimiento térmico para prendas de protecciónThermal coating for protective clothing
Campo de la invenciónField of the invention
La presente invención está dirigida a un revestimiento térmico para uso en, por ejemplo, prendas de protección. Antecedentes de la invenciónThe present invention is directed to a thermal liner for use in, for example, protective clothing. Background of the invention
Las prendas de protección son ahora bien conocidas por sus muchos y variados usos, tales como trajes para trabajadores industriales, bomberos, bomberos forestales, conductores de autos de carrera, pilotos de aviones y personal militar. Las prendas incluyen no solo trajes completos de cuerpo entero, sino también prendas individuales tales como pantalones, chaquetas, guantes, botas, sombreros, gorros, máscaras, etc. Generalmente, las prendas de protección están diseñadas para proteger al usuario de una variedad de peligros ambientales. Las prendas de bombero son representativas de tales prendas de protección.Protective garments are now well known for their many and varied uses, such as suits for industrial workers, firefighters, forest firefighters, race car drivers, airplane pilots, and military personnel. The garments include not only full body suits, but also individual garments such as pants, jackets, gloves, boots, hats, caps, masks, etc. Protective clothing is generally designed to protect the user from a variety of environmental hazards. Firefighter clothing is representative of such protective clothing.
Las prendas de bombero, generalmente conocidas como equipo de protección, están diseñadas principalmente para evitar que el bombero sufra quemaduras graves. Una segunda amenaza importante para los bomberos es el estrés por calor. Cada año ocurren más muertes de bomberos en los Estados Unidos debido a condiciones relacionadas con el estrés por calor que debido a quemaduras. Las condiciones relacionadas con el estrés por calor incluyen temperatura central corporal elevada que conduce a postración por calor, aumento de la presión arterial, insolación y, a veces, ataque cardíaco. A medida que se ha reconocido esta segunda amenaza, la comunidad del servicio de bomberos ha intentado modificar y mejorar el equipo de protección para minimizar su contribución al estrés por calor. Generalmente, el equipo de protección incluye un abrigo y un mono. El equipo de protección generalmente consta de tres capas: una coraza exterior, una barrera contra la humedad y una barrera térmica. La coraza exterior suele ser una tela tejida hecha de fibras resistentes a las llamas y se considera la primera línea de defensa del bombero. No solo debe resistir las llamas, sino que debe ser resistente y duradera para que no se rompa, desgaste indebidamente o se enganche durante las actividades normales de extinción de incendios.Firefighter garments, generally known as protective gear, are designed primarily to prevent the firefighter from being seriously burned. A second major threat to firefighters is heat stress. Each year more firefighter deaths occur in the United States from heat stress-related conditions than from burns. Conditions related to heat stress include elevated core body temperature leading to heat prostration, increased blood pressure, heat stroke, and sometimes heart attack. As this second threat has been recognized, the fire service community has sought to modify and improve protective equipment to minimize its contribution to heat stress. Protective equipment generally includes a coat and overalls. Protective gear generally consists of three layers: an outer shell, a moisture barrier, and a thermal barrier. The outer shell is typically a woven fabric made of flame resistant fibers and is considered the firefighter's first line of defense. Not only must it resist flames, it must be strong and durable so that it will not break, unduly wear or snag during normal firefighting activities.
La capa de barrera contra la humedad, aunque además es resistente a las llamas, se proporciona para evitar que el agua penetre y sature el equipo de protección. El exceso de humedad del ambiente cargaría al bombero con un peso adicional y por lo tanto aumentaría su carga. Es probable que tal aumento de carga aumente la posibilidad de estrés por calor.The moisture barrier layer, while also flame resistant, is provided to prevent water from penetrating and saturating the protective gear. Excess humidity in the environment would load the firefighter with additional weight and therefore increase his load. Such increased load is likely to increase the possibility of heat stress.
El revestimiento de barrera térmica además es resistente a las llamas y ofrece la mayor parte de la protección térmica que ofrece el conjunto. Un revestimiento de barrera térmica tradicional incluye una capa de aislamiento de fibras resistentes a las llamas acolchadas a un paño tejido ligero también hecha de fibras resistentes a las llamas. Un material comúnmente usado como componente en la barrera térmica, y a menudo considerado como un estándar de la industria, se conoce como E89® de DuPont of Richmond, VA. E89 es un material no tejido hidroenredado que consiste en una grapa NOMEX® (meta-aramida) o una grapa KEVLAR® (para-aramida) o una combinación de ambas, Guía técnica para la fibra de la marca NOMEX®, H-52720 Revisado en julio de 2001 por DuPont, Richmond VA, página 3.The thermal barrier coating is also flame resistant and offers most of the thermal protection offered by the set. A traditional thermal barrier coating includes an insulating layer of flame resistant fibers padded to a lightweight woven cloth also made of flame resistant fibers. A material commonly used as a component in thermal barrier, and often considered an industry standard, is known as E89® from DuPont of Richmond, VA. E89 is a hydroentangled nonwoven material consisting of a NOMEX® (meta-aramid) staple or a KEVLAR® (para-aramid) staple or a combination of both, NOMEX® Brand Fiber Technical Guide, H-52720 Revised in July 2001 by DuPont, Richmond VA, page 3.
Si bien E89 es un material excelente, existe la necesidad de encontrar mejores materiales, es decir, materiales con la misma o mejor protección térmica y menores pesos.While E89 is an excellent material, there is a need to find better materials, that is, materials with the same or better thermal protection and lower weights.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention
Con referencia a las figuras, en las que los mismos números se refieren a elementos similares, en la figura 1 se muestra una prenda de protección 10. Específicamente, la prenda de protección 10 es la chaqueta de un traje de protección de bombero. Se entiende, sin embargo, que la invención no se limita al equipo de protección de bombero. La invención puede usarse en otros tipos de equipo de protección, como será evidente para los expertos en la técnica. Dichos otros tipos de trajes de protección incluyen, pero no se limitan a, trajes para trabajadores industriales (lo que incluye, por ejemplo, ropa para arco eléctrico), bomberos forestales, conductores de autos de carrera, pilotos de aviones, personal militar y similares.With reference to the figures, in which the same numbers refer to similar elements, a protective garment 10 is shown in Figure 1. Specifically, the protective garment 10 is the jacket of a firefighter protective suit. It is understood, however, that the invention is not limited to firefighter protective equipment. The invention can be used in other types of protective equipment, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such other types of protective suits include, but are not limited to, suits for industrial workers (including, for example, arc flash clothing), forest firefighters, race car drivers, aircraft pilots, military personnel, and the like. .
Como se indica en las Figuras 1 y 2, la prenda de protección 10 puede tener una construcción de múltiples capas que incluye una coraza exterior 20, una barrera contra la humedad 40 y un revestimiento térmico 60. La coraza exterior 20 se construye típicamente de un material resistente a la abrasión y a las llamas que comprende fibras resistentes a las llamas hechas de, por ejemplo, aramida (meta- y/o para-aramida), polibencimidazol (PBI), polibenzoxazol (PBO), melamina o similares y mezclas de los mismos. La coraza exterior 20 puede tratarse con un acabado resistente al agua (por ejemplo, un perfluorohidrocarburo) para evitar o reducir la absorción de agua del entorno exterior. El peso del material de la coraza exterior puede estar dentro del intervalo de aproximadamente 203,4-271,2 g/m2, es decir, 6-8 onzas por yarda cuadrada (osy).As indicated in Figures 1 and 2, the protective garment 10 may have a multilayer construction that includes an outer shell 20, a moisture barrier 40, and a thermal liner 60. The outer shell 20 is typically constructed of a abrasion and flame resistant material comprising flame resistant fibers made of, for example, aramid (meta- and / or para-aramid), polybenzimidazole (PBI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), melamine or the like and mixtures of the same themselves. The outer shell 20 may be treated with a water resistant finish (eg, a perfluorohydrocarbon) to prevent or reduce the absorption of water from the outside environment. The weight of the outer shell material can be in the range of about 203.4-271.2 g / m2, that is, 6-8 ounces per square yard (osy).
La barrera contra la humedad 40 puede construirse de una tela 42 resistente al fuego no tejida o tejida que comprende fibras resistentes a las llamas hechas de, por ejemplo, aramida (meta- y/o para-aramida), polibencimidazol (PBI), polibenzoxazol (PBO), melamina o similares y mezclas de los mismos. La barrera contra la humedad 40 puede laminarse con una capa impermeable al agua 44 de material tal como, por ejemplo, una capa de politetrafluoroetileno (PTFE) o poliuretano (PU). Cuando se proporciona una capa impermeable 44 de este tipo, normalmente se proporciona sobre la barrera 40 contra la humedad, de modo que quede orientado hacia el revestimiento térmico 60. El peso del material de barrera contra la humedad está típicamente dentro del intervalo de aproximadamente 135,6-203,4 g/m2 (4-6 osy).The moisture barrier 40 may be constructed of a nonwoven or woven fire resistant fabric 42 comprising flame resistant fibers made of, for example, aramid (meta- and / or para-aramid), polybenzimidazole (PBI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), melamine or the like and mixtures thereof. The moisture barrier 40 can be laminated with a waterproof layer 44 of material such as, for example, a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyurethane (PU). When such an impermeable layer 44 is provided, it is typically provided over the moisture barrier 40 so that it faces the thermal coating 60. The weight of the moisture barrier material is typically within the range of about 135 , 6-203.4 g / m2 (4-6 osy).
El revestimiento térmico 60 puede, opcionalmente, incluir tanto una capa de aislamiento 62 como una capa de paño 64, que pueden acolcharse juntas. En modalidades alternativas, sin embargo, puede usarse la capa de aislamiento 62 sola. La capa de aislamiento 62 se analiza con mayor detalle más abajo. Cuando se usa, la capa 64 de paño puede construirse de material tejido que comprenda fibras resistentes a las llamas hechas de, por ejemplo, aramida (meta-aramida o para-aramida), polibencimidazol (PBI), polibenzoxazol (PBO), melamina, compuestos celulósicos resistentes a las llamas (FR), modacrílicos, carbono o similares, y mezclas de los mismos. La capa de paño 64 puede tener, opcionalmente, un acabado con un acabado hidrofílico que extrae la transpiración del cuerpo del bombero, si se desea. El peso del material de la capa de paño está normalmente en el intervalo de aproximadamente 33,9-203,4 g/m2 (1-6 osy).Thermal liner 60 can optionally include both an insulation layer 62 and a cloth layer 64, which can be padded together. In alternative embodiments, however, insulation layer 62 alone can be used. Insulation layer 62 is discussed in more detail below. When used, the cloth layer 64 can be constructed of woven material comprising flame resistant fibers made of, for example, aramid (meta-aramid or para-aramid), polybenzimidazole (PBI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), melamine, cellulosic flame resistant (FR) compounds, modacrylic, carbon or the like, and mixtures thereof. The cloth layer 64 may optionally be finished with a hydrophilic finish that draws perspiration from the firefighter's body, if desired. The material weight of the cloth layer is normally in the range of about 33.9-203.4 g / m2 (1-6 osy).
La capa de aislamiento 62 comprende un material no tejido que comprende una pluralidad de fibras resistentes a las llamas, que se describen con mayor detalle más abajo. La capa de aislamiento 62 puede comprender una sola capa de no tejido, o dos capas de no tejido, o múltiples capas de no tejido. En una modalidad, la capa de aislamiento tiene dos capas de material no tejido y cada una de estas capas puede tener un peso base diferente. El material no tejido puede estar en un intervalo de peso de aproximadamente 25,4-271,2 g/m2 (0,75-8 osy). En una modalidad, el material no tejido puede estar en un intervalo de peso de aproximadamente 39,9-101,7 g/m2 (1,0-3,0 osy).

En otra modalidad más, el material no tejido puede estar en un intervalo de peso de 40,7-67,8 g/m2 (1,2-2,0 osy). En otra modalidad más, la capa de aislamiento puede comprender dos capas no tejidas, una capa con un peso base de aproximadamente 47,5 g/m2 (1,4 osy) y la otra capa con un peso básico de aproximadamente 61,0 g/m2 (1,8 osy). En una modalidad, el material no tejido puede tener un grosor de menos de 2 mm. En otra modalidad, el material no tejido puede tener un grosor de menos de 1 mm. El material no tejido, en todas las modalidades, debe tener un grosor mínimo de 0,25 mm. En otra modalidad más, el material no tejido puede tener un grosor en el intervalo de aproximadamente 0,75-1,25 mm. El material no tejido puede fabricarse mediante cualquier proceso de no tejido. Tales procesos incluyen, pero no se limitan a, tendido en húmedo, tendido al aire, cardado, enfurtido, punzonado e hidroentrelazado (hidroenredado). En una modalidad, el no tejido puede hidroenredarse. El material no tejido puede ser liso (es decir, sin aberturas), perforado (ver documento US5136723), con hoyuelos (ver documento US7676855), o una combinación de cualquiera de los anteriores.Insulation layer 62 comprises a nonwoven material comprising a plurality of flame resistant fibers, which are described in greater detail below. The insulation layer 62 may comprise a single nonwoven layer, or two nonwoven layers, or multiple nonwoven layers. In one embodiment, the insulation layer has two layers of nonwoven material and each of these layers can have a different basis weight. The nonwoven can be in a weight range of about 25.4-271.2 g / m2 (0.75-8 osy). In one embodiment, the nonwoven can be in a weight range of about 39.9-101.7 g / m2 (1.0-3.0 osy). In another embodiment, the nonwoven may be in a weight range of 40.7-84.8 g / m2 (1.2-2.5 osy). In yet another embodiment, the nonwoven may be in a weight range of 40.7-67.8 g / m2 (1.2-2.0 osy). In yet another embodiment, the insulation layer may comprise two non-woven layers, one layer with a basis weight of about 47.5 g / m2 (1.4 osy) and the other layer with a basis weight of about 61.0 g. / m2 (1.8 osy). In one embodiment, the nonwoven material can have a thickness of less than 2mm. In another embodiment, the nonwoven material can have a thickness of less than 1mm.

En una modalidad, las fibras resistentes a las llamas pueden caracterizarse además como fibras que no absorben agua. La fibra que no absorbe agua no se recomienda para recuperar la humedad de la fibra. La recuperación de humedad, como se usa en la presente descripción, se refiere al porcentaje de humedad atmosférica en un material textil que se equilibra con una atmósfera estándar después del secado parcial, calculado como un porcentaje del peso libre de humedad. En cambio, la fibra que no absorbe agua se refiere a la capacidad de las fibras, cuando se ponen en contacto con agua líquida, para hincharse, absorber y retener esa agua. La absorbencia de agua de las fibras puede medirse de acuerdo con ASTM D2402 (2012). La retención máxima de agua que puede tolerarse es inferior a 15 %.In one embodiment, the flame resistant fibers can be further characterized as non-water absorbing fibers. Fiber that does not absorb water is not recommended for reclaiming moisture from the fiber. Moisture recovery, as used in the present description, refers to the percentage of atmospheric moisture in a material textile that equilibrates with a standard atmosphere after partial drying, calculated as a percentage of the moisture-free weight. In contrast, fiber that does not absorb water refers to the ability of the fibers, when they come into contact with liquid water, to swell, absorb and retain that water. The water absorbency of the fibers can be measured according to ASTM D2402 (2012). The maximum water retention that can be tolerated is less than 15%.
La primera fibra inherentemente resistente al calor del material no tejido se selecciona del grupo que consiste en polibencimidazoles.The first inherently heat resistant fiber of the nonwoven is selected from the group consisting of polybenzimidazoles.
La segunda fibra resistente al calor del material no tejido se selecciona del grupo de aramidas (meta y/o paraaramidas).The second heat resistant fiber of the nonwoven material is selected from the group of aramids (meta and / or paraaramides).
